Antique Warren G. Harding advertising coin purse featuring a raised portrait of President Harding, crossed American flags, eagle motifs, and “PRESIDENT HARDING” across the front.
The interior is printed:
Westfield’s Cigar Store
337 South Main St.
Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
A great piece of early 20th-century Pennsylvania advertising and presidential memorabilia. The Harding imagery strongly places the design in the early 1920s, during or around his presidency (1921–1923).
Approximate size is 3¼ inches wide based on the photographs.
Features a metal kiss-lock frame with a brown suede/leather-like pouch interior. The raised metal front has attractive age-related patina that gives the details a lot of character.
Condition: Antique pre-owned condition with expected age-related wear, patina/tarnish, discoloration and wear to the interior material. Please review all photographs closely for condition and measurements. I have not cleaned or polished the metal.
A particularly interesting collectible for:
Warren G. Harding / presidential memorabilia collectors, Pennsylvania advertising collectors, Wilkes-Barre history collectors, antique tobacco/cigar advertising collectors, or vintage coin purse collectors.
